Summary
In this episode, you’ll get to explore how you can reap the benefits of fasting (without actually having to fast), thanks to Dr. Chris Rhodes and his groundbreaking supplement, Mimio. If you're dealing with low energy, sluggish metabolism, or premature aging, Dr. Rhodes explains how Mimio mimics the effects of fasting to boost cellular health and longevity. You'll get to discover how this innovative approach can address common health issues, enhance your well-being, and help optimize your body and mind (without dealing with some of the less-than-favorable side effects of fasting, such as irritability, headaches, fatigue, and hunger pangs).
Dr. Chris Rhodes received his Ph.D. in nutritional biochemistry from UC Davis and is an expert on human fasting as a health and longevity intervention. Over the course of his research, he and his team comprehensively mapped the biochemical changes that happen in the human body during prolonged periods of fasting.
Dr. Rhodes discovered that the body produces multiple unique bioactive metabolites during a 36-hour fast, and when these metabolites are given as a supplement, they could recreate the cellular health and longevity benefits of fasting, including extending lifespan in model organisms by 96%. Dr. Rhodes is now the founder and CEO of Mimio Health a nutri-technology company creating first-of-their-kind biomimetic supplements designed from human biology to recreate the body's natural regenerative states.
Mimio Health's first product, Mimio, is a fasting mimetic designed from over seven years of clinical fasting research at UC Davis to provide the same cellular health and longevity benefits as a 36-hour fast in a simple daily pill. Mimio has been clinically shown to produce the same anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cardioprotective effects as fasting, even during a meal, extend lifespan in model organisms by 96%, and reduce biological age (DNAMet) in humans.
Whether you're a fasting enthusiast, new to fasting, or simply curious about how fasting can enhance your health, this episode is packed with actionable insights and groundbreaking information!

| 0:00.0 | My name is Ben Greenfield and on this episode of the Ben Greenfield Life Podcast. |
| 0:04.0 | When people fast for 36 hours, there's this unique set of metabolites that are elevated in the body that are really only elevated during a fast and when we |
| 0:15.5 | screened through those molecules we were able to find that those were the ones that |
| 0:20.2 | were really responsible for activating a lot of these cellular health and |
| 0:23.6 | longevity benefits of a fast. What's in MIMEO are those four fasting |
| 0:30.7 | metabolites that we identified have these synergistic effects and what |
| 0:34.5 | MIMIA was basically doing is taking what the body naturally produces during a |
| 0:39.3 | 36-hour fast and giving it back to people so you can kind of recreate that state of |
| 0:45.1 | fasting at a molecular level, stimulate, activate these same beneficial cellular |
| 0:50.7 | pathways that are associated with fasting to get the benefits of fasting |
| 0:54.6 | without actually having the fast. |
| 0:56.5 | Fitness, nutrition, biohacking, longevity, life optimization, spirituality, and a whole lot more. |
| 1:05.0 | Welcome to the Ben Greenfield Life Show. |
| 1:08.0 | Are you ready to hack your life? |
| 1:10.0 | Let's do this. I learned some shocking things when I |
| 1:17.0 | I learned some shocking things when I interviewed this guy named Mike from Jasper. |
| 1:24.5 | That podcast might already be out. You can find on my website if it is. |
| 1:28.0 | All sorts of shocking things about mold issues, dust issues, allergen issues, VOC issues, which are volatile compounds |
| 1:37.8 | that can float in the air, cause damage to the lungs, toxify the body, and he introduced to me this idea of using really good air |
| 1:45.4 | filtration to clean up the home. So he's developed this thing called the Jasper |
| 1:49.7 | Pro. It's basically capturing 99.9% of ultra fine particles as small as 0.1 microns, including dust, |
| 1:58.1 | dander mold, allergens, clean fresh air as a result gets delivered to your lungs. |
